Sean Mannion (boxer)

Last updated

Sean Mannion (born 6 October 1956 in Rosmuc, County Galway, Ireland) is a former boxer in the light middleweight division. [1] [2] During his career he was based in and boxed out of Massachusetts in the United States. His most notable bout was against Mike McCallum for the vacant WBA title, which he lost over a fifteen-round unanimous decision. In January 2014, Rocky Ros Muc: Seán Ó Mainnín, a biography about Mannion's life and career, written by Rónán Mac Con Iomaire, was released. The book is written in Irish but an English version was also released. [3] A film adaptation was released in July 2017 under the same title, produced and directed by Michael Fanning. RTÉ Documentary on One made a programme about Sean's story - Never Knocked Down - produced by Robert Mulhern which won gold in the 2015 Celtic Media Awards. [4]
